The walls of Ronde Bicycle Outfitters are lined with the white tiles of the butcher shop it once was. Situated at the front of the store, its café offers respite for bike enthusiasts and mere mortals alike. Cheerfully kitted out with bare wooden tables and benches, and offering a pared-back menu of tasty homemade soups (one vegetarian, one meat – and what’s not to love about smoked sausage and pea?), pastries, inventive daily cakes (think spiced apple and pumpkin), and teas and coffees, it’s a relaxed affair with friendly, chatty staff. A large screen enables projections of major cycling events like the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia and the café also hosts bike-related exhibitions and readings, making it something of a place-to-be for those who know their fixies from their mountain bikes. And if cycling’s your thing, their bike club can be found refuelling there on Saturday afternoons.
